ANNOUNCING 2016 PHOTO, VIDEO, AND ESSAY CONTEST WINNERS

Over 500 participants spent this summer in the field immersed in a new culture and developing as young leaders. They built relationships with their host families, created and implemented a wide range of projects, and had a truly transformative experience. We asked for photos, videos, and essays that highlight their time in community.

Today, we’re excited to announce the winners and recognize several great runners-up. Thanks to everyone who submitted a piece.
